Chapter 307
The underground world was as vast as the sea . Even though one had reached 5-6 km away from the mouth of the Dragon Cave, it only equaled to coming to the beach, still a distance away from the real sea .
When manager Zhang carefully asked those who had used Zhang Tie's solution in his office about the effect of the solution, the centipede hunting team, led by Yang Yuankang, had already delved into Dragon Cave and arrived in an underground space where huge centipedes were always seen .
The underground karst where most of the Hell-black spiders gathered was more than 3000 m away from the entrance of Dragon Cave . However, huge centipedes lived in a darker place . Only when they reached 5000-6000 m away from the entrance could they see huge centipedes .
In the ecological system of the underground world, huge centipedes had a very wide range of food . All the rotten animals, the corpses of magical beasts, those mutated underground snails and huge flies that liked to wander among the various underground fungi and plants were the food of huge centipedes . Sometimes, if huge centipedes were too hungry, they could even engulf the Hell-black spiders .
Compared to Hell-black spiders, centipedes were much larger . Most of them were longer than 10 m . Additionally, centipedes moved more swiftly . Those centipedes hiding in the seams could charge at you at any time and cause a fatal harm on you .
What made people more worried were that huge centipedes' shells were much stronger than that of the Hell-black spiders . They were much more difficult to pierce . This was an underground creature with a very powerful vitality . Even if they were broken into halves, they could still stay alive for 1 week before death .
Most people who ventured into the living area of centipedes were there to attempt advancement to level 7 . Compared to the difficulty of forming battle qi at level 6, when they reached level 7, the formed battle qi would be like dried straws; as long as they absorb a ball of soul fire, it would lead to a new battle totem .
All the members of the huge centipede hunting team were level 7 fighters . Each of them had been here many times . Soon after they entered the underground living area of centipedes, they had met their first prey .
For level 7 fighters, it wasn't too hard to deal with a centipede . Through cooperation, it only took them several minutes to kill the centipede .
After that, a fighter used a huge ax and opened the hardest head .
Although no magical core was found, they didn't become disappointed as it would be too lucky for them if they could find a magical core from the first huge centipede . Before coming down, they already prepared to gain nothing .
Many people from Breaking-Heavens Department were here to hunt for huge centipedes' magical cores every day; however, above 98% of them might not see one huge centipede's magical core for 1 week's work as the possibility for huge centipedes to produce magical cores was less than 1/1000 .
Because there was no magical core inside it, they only took its fist-sized venom container . At least they could sell it for some money . There were some business groups purchasing venom containers of huge centipedes at the price of 2 silver coins each . They could be made into medicines including poison and medicament that could cure venom, relieve inflammation, and sores .
The huge centipede's shell could also be made into a special glue . However, as it was cheap and was difficult to deal with, besides special personnel who were dispatched here from business groups above to clean up and collect these things, the other people would feel reluctant to deal with such cumbersome things .
"Let's go for the second target . We're in a persistent war, watch out everyone . " After receiving no gains, Yang Yuankang called others to continue walking forward .
Fortunately, 7 hours later, after they killed the 34th huge centipede in a narrow crack and opened its head, they finally found one magical core .
It was a grape-sized bead which radiated a faint red light in the dark underground cave .
At the sight of this bead, everybody was amazed as they hadn't imagined that they could gain one so easily today . However, dangers always came when people let their guards down . When they were excited about their achievement, another huge centipede suddenly drilled out and charged towards them by springing up its body from 10 m away .
Two huge centipedes lived in this crack, not one .
"Watch out!"
Yang Yuankang was the first one who responded as he immediately shouted loudly and jumped up . At the same time, he broke out his battle qi once again . . .
In a split second, a great amount of fine venom was sprouted out of the huge centipede's mouth and was covering towards them like suddenly sprayed raindrops . Although they all responded quickly, facing such an undifferentiated attack, 3 people of the team were still sprayed by the venom .
After dozens of seconds, the second huge centipede was also killed in the most violent way by them; however, those guys who were splashed by the venom also started feeling its effects .
The venom of huge centipede was known for its extremely strong permeability and slight corrosivity . Once sprayed, it would be no different from being bitten by the huge centipede as its venom would permeate into your blood through your skin as soon as possible .
"Argh, I might have been splashed by its venom . . . "
"So was I . . . "
